Plasterer in Dore, South Yorkshire
Internal plastering, external rendering, skimming, lime plastering and damp proofing, on the southern fringe of Sheffield, roughly 10 miles north of Chesterfield.
Dore sits on the southern fringe of Sheffield, roughly 10 miles north of Chesterfield, further out than most of our jobs but still firmly within reach. It sits close to Abbeydale and Abbeydale Park, so jobs here often come alongside work in those neighbouring areas. Most of the housing here is postwar semis and later estate development, so the work tends to be straightforward skimming, patch repairs and the odd ceiling replacement.
We travel up regularly, so distance from Chesterfield isn't a barrier, we quote and work here just as we do closer to base.

MoreDore Plastering FAQs
Questions we get asked most about plastering, rendering and damp proofing jobs in Dore and the surrounding South Yorkshire area.
What's the difference between lime plaster and standard plaster?
Lime plaster is breathable and flexible, suited to older solid-wall construction, while standard gypsum plaster suits modern cavity-wall properties. Around Dore we see a mix of both, so we assess each property individually.
Do you deal with damp issues in Dore properties?
Yes, alongside plastering we offer damp proofing, including damp proof membranes, chemical treatments and replastering affected walls once the source of the damp has been addressed.
Can you skim over existing artex?
In many cases yes, if the artex is sound we can skim directly over it. If it's damaged or you'd prefer it fully removed, we can strip it back and re-board first.
Are cheaper materials used to keep costs down?
No, we use proper trade materials rather than cutting corners, it's the reason our finishes hold up well over time and come with a full guarantee.
How soon can you start work in Dore?
It depends on our current workload, but we'll always give you a realistic start date when we quote. Call 01246 460 078 to check current availability.
Can you work alongside our builder on an extension?
We regularly work as part of a wider build team, coordinating with builders, electricians and other trades to plaster once first fix is complete.
Will render crack if it's applied in the wrong weather?
Applying render too fast in hot weather or in freezing conditions both increase the risk of cracking, which is why we work to the conditions rather than a fixed schedule.
Are you insured for work in Dore?
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance for all plastering, rendering and damp proofing work we carry out.
Is there an extra charge for travelling out to Dore?
No, Dore falls inside our normal coverage area, on the southern fringe of Sheffield, roughly 10 miles north of Chesterfield, so there's no additional travel charge for jobs there.
Do render finishes come in different colours?
Render can be through-coloured or painted after curing, we'll go through the options so the finish matches what you want for your property.
Do you handle urgent or emergency plaster repairs?
Where we can, yes, a collapsed ceiling or water-damaged wall in Dore is the kind of job we'll try to prioritise, call 01246 460 078 to discuss.
